Definitions[]
Data[]
Sampling means releasing only a proportion of the original data records from a database.
Music[]
[S]ampling normally refers to incorporating one or more portions of previously recorded music into a new recording.
Another use of the term was proposed by the defendants in A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc.,[1] namely, the supposed right of a user to make copies of copyrighted musical works prior to purchasing them.
Overview (Data)[]
"Sampling (in some cases, when very large numbers of records are available) can be adequate for statistical purposes to release a sample of records, selected through some stated randomized procedure. By not releasing specific details of the sample, data holders can minimise the risk of re-identification."[2]
